How Does a Product Inspection Work?
During an inspection, a Deming Ratings inspector evaluates products at specific production stages using a comprehensive checklist.
This checklist is tailored to the product and the client’s requirements.
Our checks typically assess the following:
Specifications
Dimensions
Function
Appearance
Performance
Workmanship
Packaging and packing are also checked, and product-specific tests are usually conducted. Checks can be tailored to the production stage. For example, inspections carried out at the start of production will include checks of raw materials.
We offer off-the-shelf checklists designed to match particular products. If customized checks are needed, you can add to one of these checklists or create your own.
Methods for Sampling
We employ the internationally accepted statistical sampling method ANSI / ASQ Z1.4 (ISO 2859-1, IS 2500, MIL-105D) for all non-food product inspections. As a result of this procedure, you can be sure that the products being inspected aren’t just a random sample provided by your supplier. The test looks at the characteristics of the product and figures out how many out of every 100 units there are that don’t conform. We use the international standard known as the acceptable quality limit (AQL) to determine the sample size and acceptance threshold.
